Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

China's EAST reactor achieved plasma densities 1.65x beyond theoretical limits, solving fusion's 70-year puzzle and bringing ...

The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of ...

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" of the tokamak, finding a method to break through the density limit and ...

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

In this video, I explore the challenges of nuclear fusion while visiting the JET tokamak fusion reactor at the Culham Science ...

Scientists in China have broken the Greenwald limit, achieving a major breakthrough in fusion reaction. They solved a crucial ...

Startorus Fusion, a Chinese startup that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance fusion performance, ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer connected to a control room 3,500 miles away in Oxford, England. Years of ...

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, but increasing said density is tricky, as beyond a certain point the ...
